"Technology alone is not enough. Technology must intersect with the liberal arts ..."

That leads dry, and not in a good developer dry way. Is this what Think Different looks like today?

I liked last year's rainbow colored hello world https://web.archive.org/web/20170208203426/https://developer...

2014 also looked to be a dry spell with an overly marketed message https://web.archive.org/web/20150302042653/https://developer...

EDIT: removed bombed joke.

> I'd also like to think that "liberal" there is to Bretix and Trump supporters know this event might not be for them. Bad Joke.

"Liberal arts" is a term, it's not trying to say "art created by liberal people"

It was a bad joke, though reality is often worse like how French sounding brands like French's Mustard declined in the US during the US Iraq war https://news.virginia.edu/content/study-tracks-us-boycott-fr...

It could be a sign that apple is aware that it needs to return to their origins

That could be a bad sign. People are looking around the company and seeing rigidity in thought. It is becoming aspirational.
